August 9, 2019 – Ottawa, Ontario – Department of Finance Canada
In a world increasingly seeking clean, affordable and reliable energy
sources, Canada is positioned to become a supplier of choice—creating
good, well-paying jobs for Canadian workers in the process.
Today, Finance Minister Bill Morneau welcomed Woodfibre LNG’s
announcement that it has placed an order for a cryogenic heat exchanger –
a critical next step in the construction of its liquefied natural gas
(LNG) project near Squamish, British Columbia. The company’s final
investment decision, which will allow construction to proceed, is
expected before the end of the summer. This project will create more
than 650 jobs during construction, with more than a 100 of those jobs
continuing once the project is operational. It will also provide
significant economic opportunities for local Indigenous communities and
contribute to the area’s long-term economic growth.
